Vera needs a family!

This 2-year-old is very affectionate and loves to be held and cuddled. Her caregivers love her, and she gets along well with the other kids in the orphanage. Vera is gentle, easygoing and fun to be around!

Vera has Down syndrome and was born prematurely at 34 weeks. She can crawl, pull to stand and sit unassisted. She is also learning how to communicate and responds to her name.

In spite of her challenges, Vera is progressing and learning new things. But she needs a family that can devote the time, focus and attention she needs to thrive! She also needs physical therapy to assist with her motor development.
